Really Funny how PLITT had the theatre districts divided up,Atlanta a Large City much,Much larger than Knoxville,Tenn., but Atlanta was in the Knoxville District.In 1983,all Atlanta locations were in the K-town District and Knoxville only had Three screens in 1983,Oh well, so it goes.
Thanks Greg,that must have been and old print of Frankenstein,I think it came out in the early-mid 70’s.And What is that great Paul Newman movie being shown with two Horror films?LOl.
RIGHT ON,Dave,If you were an operator,thanks for the years you gave us in the booth.I got out right when all that was about to change,I wanted to manage and promote films,the Booth was your guys world.
I am so glad Nick was able to get these on so quick.If you have more I know he wouldn’t mind.hope you like the Loews Ads I sent.Should have sent them to Nick to put on,
When those carbon arcs were pulled out of Theatres across the country that is when the theatre Business ended as most of old theatre dawgs know, It wasn’t long before the platters showed up,Owner quickly realized a 17 year old could be trained to thread a film.No cue marks.No Carbons to adjust,so Who needed a union man in the booth. I saw it happen and I wanted NO part of it.Kids ran the booth and I bet in 90 per cent of the booths today are that way,but what the heck,Films are like Dvd’s now.Film is a thing of the past. Thanks Nick and Tis for caring.
I think this might have been a BLUEBIRD THEATRE a small Carolina circuit.
Of course,No passes on “SUPERMAN”.In the Knoxville District.

Did you not like the Movie or the presentation at the theatre, ten poundhammer ?
Regency Exchange in Augusta and the Regency Mall just like this GCC,once they closed everything was left in the Building,even the Popcorn and Candy!
I never thought Drinking beer and Movie watching was a good idea after Several years dealing with Drunk moviegoers at Midnight Shows.

Thanks Tis.
Great pictures.Loved the GCC one.
Parked 268 cars in 1956 and was owned by Allen Brothers.
2008 picture looks a lot nicer.
That’s okay,just going there was great.If only the TAMPA would have had a decent film to watch the following day.
Could the name have been changed to Starlite Drive-in. I have that Drive-in in my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac,but no NORTHSIDE?
